Title
Substitute resolution authorizing the Commissioner of Public Works to issue permits to the Milwaukee Community Service Corps allowing the Milwaukee Community Service Corps to install and maintain temporary artwork at ten intersections within the City of Milwaukee. (DPW)
Analysis
The Milwaukee Community Service Corps plans what it calls an Art Corps Initiative. This program will provide an opportunity for artists to publicly display their works in highly visible locations around the City. Each work would be up for a limited period of time and then replaced with another piece. The Milwaukee Community Service Corps has proposed ten intersections throughout the City where it would like permission to install the art works. These intersections are listed in the attachment to this resolution. A review committee set up by Milwaukee Community Service Corps and including a member from the Milwaukee Arts Board, as well as the Common Council member in whose district artwork will be placed, would screen the various art works before allowing them to be installed. The Commissioner of Public Works would evaluate the artworks and their proposed locations to ensure that public safety and general convenience will be protected. This resolution authorizes the Commissioner to issue permits to Milwaukee Community Service Corps allowing installation of the various artworks when the Commissioner finds that doing so will not compromise the public interest.
